I kept waiting for the guy to share some lesson that was learned, and it never came. The self-satisfied writing was less interesting than his complete disinterest in two other humans and the entire event.
What a sad existence he leads. It's as if he's stuck in the 1990s, and proud of it.

- nchmy 1y agoWhat joke? You presented this all as a completely factual thing that happened, and that you were the sole guardian of... non-cringe authenticity?... in the place, and that some loser thanked you for your service. Now you're saying that the whole article was a lie? Congrats, you're now even more disappointing of a person than originally presented.
